A hallmark of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), a life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is the cytopathic injury of host tissues mediated by persistent alloreactive effector T cells (T(E)). However, the mechanisms that regulate the persistence of alloreactive T(E) during GVHD remain largely unknown. Using mouse GVHD models, we demonstrate that alloreactive CD8(+) T(E) rapidly diminished in vivo when adoptively transferred into irradiated secondar ...[more]
